Hi All,
have used the same recipe with Damons but it did take a bit longer cooking time! Took out stones before cooking, and you may need to add an apple as this is a soft jam recipe, am just about to put in to jars!!!!! wish me luck!!!!

The perfect solution for us Guys out there.
Just jammed up Loganberries from the allotment perfectly.
Needed a touch more sugar to compensate for too much lemon juice.
Used 600w setting.
Brilliant, bring on the Blackberry & Apple

Have just tried this with 1 apple, 2 cups sugar, juice of 1 1/2 lemons, and 500g mixed berries. It’s tasting great right now, just waiting for it to set, but it is has already passed the setting test, so fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My second year of using this recipe, its brilliant quick easy and foolproof, I use normal granulated sugar, a microwave steamer that has a click and seal lid, and always add an extra 10 mins – Redcurrent Jelly all done now ready for Christmas. Rhubarb and ginger is my next project.

Well I had 500gms strawberries given to me and they were passed their sell by date to eat fresh so I made this jam and it is delicious. Its quick and easy. I have been given some Rhubarb so I will have a look for a microwave recipe. Thank You
